Fostering appreciation of the written word, supporting and educating its creators.

Volunteer

Volunteers are always needed to staff the center, host events, and help with special projects. How you help is totally up to you.

Volunteering is a great way to get involved, become a part of the Center and our literary community, and network with other writers and authors. You can volunteer on a regular schedule, periodically, occasionally, sporadically, or for a summer.

If you are a student, being a volunteer is a great resume builder! If you are interested in volunteering as an intern, we are happy to work with your school to help you get credit, reimbursed, or realize other benefits for which you’re eligible through your institution.

Below is a partial list of volunteer opportunities and tasks. Contact us via email at mwc@midwestwritingcenter.orgor through our Contact page and let us know how you’d like to help. ANY is greatly appreciated!

We, the Board of Directors, hereby affirm that our organization already is committed to being guided by the Principles and Practices and is actively engaged in good faith efforts to meet each of them.”
